Small Group Ministry
(formerly
Spiritual Life Committee) is an opportunity to participate in what we hope
will become new Winnetka Congregational Church traditions!
This is a great opportunity to get to know other WCC members in a casual, relaxed and social setting to make WCC a friendlier and more engaged community. Small groups of 8-10 members will share a meal and discuss a spiritual topic in a host’s home. The program is very simple: One member volunteers to host and is responsible for the main course. Others sign up to attend and bring a portion of the meal. Our pastors will prepare a spiritual topic for the group to discuss. For members of existing Spiritual Life Groups, these new small groups are an additional way for you to get to know others and expand your spiritual journey. Interested? Sign up by sending an email to Jenny Gleichauf or you can call 847-441-3400, ext. 15 or use the sign up sheets in Tolman Fellowship Hall. Please let us know what dates you will attend and whether or not you want to be a host. We hope you will be able to participate and help make this a new WCC tradition!
Time of Contemplation and Prayer
Every Monday we invite everyone to join us at 1:30 p.m. in the Centennial Room for a Time of Contemplation and Prayer. Come whenever you can-dressed as you are. If you cannot be physically present, please join us in prayer - wherever you are - sometimes each Monday...or another day. We continue to pray for those named in our Prayer List as well as to offer those prayers that are in our hearts. For more information call: Joanne Miner at 847-835-0369.
